i did my own business about the utopia because you missed the guess everybody had to buy chip lead they don't live with this and if we buy discounting from europeans i totally i know they're about to head i said. our labor is i being exposed to far stuff flying export of oil goods to.

over the last twenty years bangladesh has become a global center for level of production. this industry generates over three hundred fifty million euros per year for the country. and has very bad suburbs the capital dhaka around three hundred tonne there is a cheaper field of twenty five acres producing the clothes and leather goods that flood the international market. and more than fourteen million skins are treated every year in the slum warehouses in tanaris sit side by side. and nightmare situation for which we westerners are also responsible i heard my i. all skins arrive like lists. every day in each one of the factories we're in one of

the has very bad tenure is an average sized factory employing around thirty workers it's here that the cycle of leisure tending begins. every day around one thousand tonnes of skins arrive directly from albatross all over the country to be stored in this hangar. goat in callsigns arrive coated in salt so as to avoid rapid decay. but if you want to say i was in the morning we get the deliveries and we cover the skins and lie rinse them and drive em how they was next after

applying the chemicals we place them in the tanning drums and then we wash them and then i go well that was yeah i want to get a collage of what we do this three times over and in but then again there are. a large proportion of the little bags jackets and other accessories we buy today are produced in tanneries such as this the working conditions are antiquated nothing has changed in thirty years neither machines nor techniques. telling is a long process to remove the parasites the facts in the head as workers carry handle scrape and treat the tons of skins using numerous chemical products and wearing only gloves for protection.

i am cutting the small pieces of skin that had been damaged during washing. sherman is one of the forty thousand working in the turner is more than twelve hours a day nonstop manual workers are hired on a daily basis without training all contracts. few women are able to withstand such physically exhausting and wearing labor. i wear a scarf to protect my hair otherwise i would lose it because of the lime water. and when the water runs over my hands it burns away my skin and that what i.

meant in the other is put up with these working conditions for the simple reason that today in bangladesh forty percent of the population is unemployed getting a job in eternity is considered a lucky break. the main problem in the tannery is the smell was. that it makes us sick blackens and it's away at our skin. i don't know but people like me have no other choice so we have to take the job that. i work long hours. to cut the small leather pieces and unwrap the new skins they

arrive. here to live what sometimes the skins are crawling with parasites and smell a style. that you've got to find it takes away my appetite. if i remember my first day of work in the factory. the smell was so disgusting that i threw up and fainting like so many guy had the noise of the machines pounding in my head until it would burst. ask. what is it that i was sick for a week after but now i'm used to it. and doesn't know how old she is she may be twenty she's been working in a tunnel risa to lose on a good month she can earn forty euros like that. i'm

. a go down this is my mother's house. i was a kid and this is my daughter. rosa posts three year old daughter thank you i am. done and then i don't want. to give that. back and that there is nothing at the factory they are no medical support. and that i have no friends and there are no safety regulations do you know when i start every day at eight am and there's no paid overtime because how they should you know i never get any holidays and if i miss half a day they counted as a full day but that i don't know if i'm sick it's the same they count me up sent one the next so i have to go to work. i know even when i'm ill. like i don't

otherwise i'll have no money left at the end of the month. the judge will. sharman spends ten euros on her rent and for this price she gets one tiny room in which to house the whole family. like her the majority of the slums five hundred thousand residents dependent on the leisure industry. it's. enough that the portion i never get a pay rise. is down i asked for one in january but nothing happened they said to be happy with what i had or leave. the child after paying my rent and giving some money to my parents there's almost nothing left. after i had a better salary i could save some money but it's impossible right now. where were your mum i need money to bring up my daughter and send her to school there's no one

to show you how can i educate her properly without money. one question i've had a hard life will be the same for my kids. charmaine would like to be able to count on her husband to feed the family. we're going to have a look at. what time did you get back home. at five and you know i am late because i went to the fish market he got such a one time should leave for work at noon i got a cold i didn't feel well ok i am that's right up there you go to work at noon because you caught cold and me how do you think i'm going to go to work at eight. little one bombers preparing dinner. thank you.

i never wake up i don't get up now that the. national. are still out that it we have no electricity and no gas here so it's difficult to cook but i push up that's going to send it to. hide like i'm more comfortable in cleaner life. i keep cleaning but everything gets dirty so quickly and i had to get. we live with the stink of the tanneries. we have every kind of problem here. that go by nobody but we can't afford to go anywhere else so i have to stay in this disgusting environment going all resonate

with it that it was that i guess. i. never. thought of him with a population of twelve million i exist to watch and is a serious problem thirty percent of the population don't have any sherman and her husband are among those who have the privilege of access to a water pump which they share with the neighborhoods but it's not drinkable and has to be paid for if you move the. family my husband pulls rickshaws back but he only works part time i don't mention his that's why i have to work because he. was a little guy. going. to

. play it was terrible they come up very hard to take the plunge again long here is a plug that had sex with the perfect there's no let's play. the i'm. just so play. live.

the. economic balance in the final. day. and the rest of life became ill be extremely. wealthy british style. tirelessly. market. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's culture were no holds barred look at the global financial headlines comes a report on our. mission. critical three. four

charges three. months three. three. free. download free blog video for your media project free media r t dot com. that i work for a miserable wage and they yell at me that. i did. this morning i didn't go to work because i didn't feel well doesn't look until about the boss was unhappy about that he got angry with me. and he told me i would lose my job if i didn't come back but how can i work in this state my hands and my feet hurt so much. eleven workers

feet and hands are eaten away by the chemical products used throughout the tanning process these products are extremely toxic for the skin but also when inhaled the tanning factories have no ventilation system. all the workers are exposed to danger but especially those who are in direct contact with the chemicals. proximately three hundred products necessary to soften and the skins and monium acids wrestling fans are see as old crow mates hydrogen sulfide and more. inflammable explosive and corrosive they use requires training the workers never receive. we use all the derivatives of potassium in. my house e.m.i. and ammonium. when we rinse the skins we use lots of acids. and we put them in the

drums that can be dangerous. for the new workers it's dangerous but after they get used to it was. to put my hands there i k. there's no problem the batteries because i've just used chemicals. that was emit one is a few doctors working in his area bag. or his liver. to the other feet where do you know if you have been here working. to fix the colors on the skins the workers use mercury huge quantities are used for blue and for black this process has been outlawed in france for twenty years. because mercury permeates the body and contaminates all the vital organs.

stop she's going to let. you see. you. in two thousand and ten at apex one of the country's so-called model tanneries three workers died and ten was seriously injured in an explosion caused by an error in the handling of chemicals. yes there are accidents you have to be careful throughout the whole process especially when turning the drums on and off and when you put the chemicals in.

we often drop the sacks on our feet touch the chemicals. one third of workers will be injured. fifty years now the tenants union representing twenty thousand workers has attempted to improve working conditions for its members to no avail. whatever one of the pocket a little of that to be honest conversation and their behavior towards us. shows that their priority is to give us the least they can. without for many years their union our union has put forward peaceful solutions. that they show no interest in not to call you need to run with it i mean i think with the tight ship they're going on with us so we have no other choice than to revolt up i'll not think. long live the union strike now. no workers unite workers of the world unite workers

of the world get open five eight. zero system almost all of us a sick or not going to cost us have never taken any health measures or night and they don't want doctors in the factories caring for the workers you know but i know that's why every day here at work is die from leather sickness look at the gum or see. when the workers take to the streets to demand an increase in the minimum wage the police welcome that. in two thousand and ten several thousand demonstrated three died fifty were injured and hundreds were arrested. i'm not sure from the way to the letter industry that is not

a risk to health. national we want the bosses to respect the employment and health legislation of this country you know because she doesn't have the money i mean i don't know by ignoring the law they make bigger profits lobbying the government. was. as it does allow i do this to protect her from evil. than to lead the nation i don't like and. my daughter is three but she still can't walk properly they were not looking she has trouble eating and falls over

a lot. i think she still can't touch one of allah now she's very weak and her health is very fragile here and there are going to do that but i can only afford to feed her rice and biscuits back ok financially and if i. need a car. and. sherman has no health protection the only way she can obtain health care is that the some sole dispenser. which also is free consultations. the aoa. ninety percent of the of the workers develop an illness as a direct consequence of their work if you live beyond fifty.

percent what are your symptoms in the six months i've gradually been feeling worse and worse the more i work out the weaker i get. when you work it out the other factory. visually career women working in canneries are often frail. carol who made it they suffer from the general infections that very joint pain fever and coughing. children want to. finish it is often have respiratory complications going to the man of rows or debilitated or dishwasher their body was suffering from part problems and gastritis . can not simply. fish shamming

also worries for her daughter who is not growing well i'm ready for. a visit where is your child while you are working better she stays of my little brother. i'm here for the last twenty years right now i'm just living here saying to them you're doing them for you coming here gives believe if you want to live. in his own bag no one is. tight as he is three hundred times higher here than in the rest of the country but sherman and her family have no other choice than to endure the working conditions and to live in the sun breathable environment if you. please see your full story you can. hear you can. hear i'm coming from long sleeve.

i don't see live here. but if you take the one you should. see. this team did an interview. recently and despite her age showman's mother was forced to go back to work in an open air factory in the center of the. san diego to hear there's some terrible smells put out by what can we do. i want if we had rice in our belly what would worry about it but it can't be our priority today. in the countryside life is peaceful. and. there well there is no work no food and in the winter.

of a dish. that does happen. every year eight hundred thousand people leave their own fertile lands. to crowd into his every bag and its surrounding area its. are willing to accept such conditions because the turner is their only hope. sharmeen is among these climate refugees she's originally from. the northern island of bangladesh and goes to buy water in two thousand and five and i understand that . we had to come here because the river overflowed that i live in and house was washed away. and i don't know.

that i will. get in there but that was not didn't my parents have nowhere else to live so they stay here with us. and we did actually get the on the plate and then i gave it to her what is your i'm also from boulder and i ended up here because my home was swept away i built my house seven times and seven times it was carried away by the flood waters i have no more land to live on and no money to buy more there was no more work for us there that's why i came to. i'm on the rails i work at the tannery for forty five euros a month it's the only way for me to survive. on this yes i will but among friends and family some children also have to work to help their parents. sometimes you know you have this in the bible all of the delays

and that was added to. the land of the mantle for this and. yet it. is not in. my family it's your mother who works instead of your father and you need me. the global. soldiers you're in the military now no more joking any more. never been some time in my life. every day would be the story obviously limits. do you think it's going to be easy. but everyone's desperate. suspects to. college.

i don't know if i'm going to make it to the end the can still filming so i'm just a book on the left i don't know what to do. but if you will show a moment like. the face i think you know. a pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i roll researcher. the olympic torch is on its epic journey to such a. one hundred twenty three days. through two thousand nine hundred towns and cities of russia. relayed by fourteen thousand people or sixty five thousand

killings. in a record setting trip by land air sea and others face. a little bit more truly special coverage on our. look at the videos we get from syria these days you know people chpa topping off. the intestines this is why i have a far worse then something that you play beyond that hollywood movie i advise the united states of america to stop supporting people who have ideologies that can crush humanity in the name of religion in the name of interest in the name of any political ends.

there's a nine story building i noticed that standing on its roof was a man in civilian clothes holding a sniper rifle. to say something that offends so they can use blank old wooden shells the building was but how much time it took to restore it. reloaded for yeltsin in the referendum to deputies of the supreme soviet didn't appeal to us out all we have to support yeltsin otherwise it would have been civil war.

this is our take tonight russia receives the little pink flag during the traditional handover ceremony in athens on sunday it will begin its ethics tour of the country arriving in sochi for the twenty fourteen winter games. no excuse for internet and anonymity it's revealed the n.s.a. has been snooping on those who genuinely need online privacy while the web giants desperately move to mend their reputation. as a fifth straight day of deadlock sees the u.s. government in paralysis economists mourning of impending disaster we report on what the red versus blue standoff is costing americans. and switzerland's plan to pay its citizens duty two thousand euros a month whether they've got a job or not we'll tell you what.
